Hey, all! I just recently purchased these 2 units, and had a couple of questions in regard to using them. 1. Can I use modern trigger pads (Roland pd-9v as an example) with them? 2. I know they use 1/4" cables for connections, but are there special ones needed for this application, or can I use regu...

I see this is turning into a pissing match that I don't want to be part of. I apologize if I offended anyone. As Rodney King once said, "Can't we all just get along?"

Peace!

Wow, it seems like I pissed in everyone's corn flakes by implying that this was a REAL song! Sorry to offend all you REAL musicians that look down on us hobbyists that are just looking for a bit of info on what I consider to be the best place on the net to do so. I won't bother you any more. Peace! ...

So, I love this song to death, and was wondering if anyone knows what synths (real or computer based) were used in its production. I did a Google search, and came up with nothing.

Peace!
Scott

I remember getting the 45 for Gary Numan's "Cars" back in the day (OK, it was a LONG time ago), and instantly fell in love with the synth sound. So, I was a sucker for '80s music all around...Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, OMD, The Cure, Tomas Dolby & Howard Jones. I still love to listen to all of that,...

I found that the cable in question is the same as the one used to connect the Commodore external tape drive to a Vic 20 or a Commodore 64. Look on eBay, it's where I found mine. Peace!

Well, no luck at The Shack :( ! All they have is AC->DC models.....So, I did find this online http://www.action-electronics.com/acadapter.htm#Ac . This appears to be correct. Maschinengeist and/or Stab Frenzy care to back me up on this one before I order? I would wait to hear back from Tech Support ...

You guys ROCK! This is why I love this site so much when I need help. Thanks a bunch! Guess I'll be waiting on Radio Shack's front step at open this morning.

Peace!

Did you make sure you got the right type of transformer? i.e. AC to DC vs AC to AC Altitude , which would I need, as the Micron is marked 9V AC at the plug (on back of synth), and the adapter is 9V DC output. I guess I should have paid more attention while I was at the Shack. Peace! Scott That's yo...

Altitude, which would I need, as the Micron is marked 9V AC at the plug (on back of synth), and the adapter is 9V DC output. I guess I should have paid more attention while I was at the Shack.

Hey all! Well, after not hearing from UTEPguy about my missing AC Adapter for the Micron I bought from him, I broke down and went to Radio Shack and got a generic one. The adapter works fine (9V, 1.5A same as the OEM), the synth powers up, but NO sound. Nothing from the headphone jack, nothing from ...

I have seen this done before, reported it to eBay and they shut it down. It looks like this one got through. I feel bad for the bidder. This is like the third or fourth auction I've seen listed like this. Two got shut down by eBay (I know I reported one), and the other two (this one included) made ...
